A Climate Action Navigator for Utility Rebates, City Climate Programs, and Electrification / Weatherization Assistance Programs
I've been working with folks to build a database of state and local climate action programs, and I wanted to share it out with you all to see if you find it useful.
It's still a work in progress. We're cleaning it up and QAing all the program links, but we've got a couple hundred programs across all 50 states. And we're adding in new cities every week.
We hope that we can make this a comprehensive databases of sub-national climate programs. We're building city navigators, but we also have county and tribal program data as well. In the near future, we want to build map overlays to cover those programs too.
I'd love to get your thoughts!
